香港鱗翅目學會

Recently, we received contacts from third party that their customer intended to bulk-register a series of “hkbutterfly” related domain names, including some suffix such as “.cn”, “.tw”, and a number of Chinese suffix.  The third party claimed that we had the priority to register these domains.

HKLS has already turned down the suggestion and will not register the domain name involved.  While the intention of such registration is unusual, we would like to clarify the the official domain names registered and currently used by Hong Kong Lepidopterists’ Society:

• hkls.org
• hkbutterfly.org

If there is any update, we will announce in the HKLS official web site, official forum, and the official Facebook fan page.近日, 我們收到第三方的聯絡, 指其客戶準備大量註冊”hkbutterfly”相關之網域名稱, 包括”.cn”、”.tw”及多個中文網域字尾等. 該第三方聲稱本會擁有註冊此等網域之優先權.

香港鱗翅目學會已拒絕了有關建議, 本會將不註冊有關網域. 基於有關大量註冊的意圖並不尋常, 我們希望在此澄清本會註冊及使用中的網域名稱:

• hkls.org
• hkbutterfly.org

假如日後有所更改, 會先行本會官方網站、官方討論區及官方Facebook粉絲頁公佈.

With the recent increased popularity of digital photography, many people begin to take up butterfly photography as their hobby. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we have to be careful avoiding damage to our ecological environment.  Recently, we were informed by a butterfly enthusiast that there were two butterflies stuck on leaves with a glue-like substance at Shui Hau, Lantau Island. It would be unethical and disgrace if it is true.  Most of us would agree that butterflies show their beauty when they are in flight and resting naturally.  If fixing them with a glue-like substance, it is equivalent to homicide.

We believe that most butterfly-lovers would not hurt them deliberately.

In addition, please beware not to step on plants when taking photographs. They are most likely butterflies’ host and nectar plants. Do always take precaution and to protect our country side.

Attached below are two photographs provided by the butterfly enthusiast. Please note that the legs of two butterflies are fixed with a glue-like substance. They seem to have died already.

本會相信各位都是蝴蝶愛好者，不會刻意傷害牠們。另外，各位在攝影的同時亦需注意不要隨意踐踏到周圍的植物, 因為這些極可能是蝴蝶的寄主或蜜源。請多注意, 保護郊野的環境, 謝謝!

附圖為該位觀蝶愛好者提供的照片，大家請留意兩隻蝴蝶的腳都有類似膠水的物質黏附，而且兩隻蝴蝶看來已經沒有了生命。
